[PATCH v2] create modalias file in sysfs for bus of_platform

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Olaf,

Thanks for doing this.  Patches to drivers/of should also be cc'd to the
Sparc guys as they share this stuff with is, now.

Also, drivers/macintosh/macio_sysfs.c does this for itself, so that
should probably be removed.

Should you pass (PAGE_SIZE - 1 (or 2)) here?
